My newborn daughter passed away after 14 days due to Trisomy 18, a condition diagnosed after birth. A hospital test during my 15th week of pregnancy showed negative for this condition. I’m heartbroken and want to seek justice for this misdiagnosis, which led to unnecessary treatment and immense emotional and financial burden. I spent close to a lakh on my daughter’s care and pregnancy. Can you advise me on how to proceed with legal action against the hospital?

You can file a medical negligence case against the hospital for misdiagnosis. You’ll need to gather evidence demonstrating the negligence, including the test results, medical records, and expert opinions. An advocate specializing in medical negligence can help you navigate this process.

My son, born at full term, was a healthy, big baby. Just minutes before my planned C-section, his heartbeat was strong. However, during the surgery, I was told he had severe birth asphyxia and was born with no heartbeat. He also suffered seizures and other complications. Doctors said I had a feto-maternal hemorrhage. Ten days before delivery, my sonography report was excellent, but the hospital later claimed they misplaced it. Even my obstetrician is baffled by what happened. How could this have occurred when everything seemed fine just moments before?
